As a professional furniture maker with nearly 20 years of experience, I am excited to share this love I have for woodworking and creating.
GROUP SESSIONS -
WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE DAYS
Join us for a group session where you will produce a small piece of furniture out of solid hardwood that you get to take away (e.g., a small side table, stool or a plant stand).
We will start with the basics of timber properties and grain direction. You will get to use some basic hand tools like hand planes, marking gauges, spokeshaves and Japanese hand saws, along with some power tools like routers and drills, and possibly some larger workshop machines like a bandsaw, table saw and surface planer. You will learn how to plane timber effectively and efficiently, mark and cut joints accurately, along with some basic sanding and finishing skills. At the end of the session, you will be able to take home a beautiful, handmade piece of furniture that you will be truly proud of.

Immerse yourself in a two-day woodworking workshop where you'll craft your very own Japanese-style toolbox. Designed for intermediate woodworkers or beginners with some prior experience, this course offers a hands-on opportunity to enhance your skills and create something truly unique. Ideal for those who have previously attended my stool-making course and want to take the next step in their woodworking journey.
Over the two days, I'll guide you through every step of the process—from understanding the plans to efficiently cutting and machining timber. You'll gain experience using a range of professional tools in my workshop, including:
Power tools like the table saw, planer, thicknesser, and pillar drill
Hand tools such as Japanese saws, hand planes, chisels, and precise marking tools
With only two participants per session, this intimate setup ensures personalized guidance. Together, we’ll work side-by-side as I demonstrate each step in detail, helping you confidently craft a functional and beautifully designed toolbox.
By the end of the weekend, you'll leave with not only a stunning handcrafted toolbox but also valuable skills to carry forward in your projects.
Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today and join me in creating something extraordinary!
